A Month of R&R w/ FinaFlex

I appreciate the hookup from the Finaflex reps. This is my very first Finaflex product I've used so I'm pretty excited. Ive always followed the logs and product releases so now is my time to see what the products will do for me.

I'm 26 years old. Currently training for a raw meet October 12th with the Revolution Powerlifting Syndicate. This meet will be a 2014 Worlds qualifier and I'm looking to total Elite with 600/335/560.

My current raw lifts are 565/300/525. Single-ply suit numbers are 600/365/560. I'm following Jim Wendler's Advanced 5/3/1 template from his new book "Beyond 5/3/1" I train 4x per week Squat/Bench/Deads/OHP. On my off days, when work and family allows me time, I'll do some sort of conditioning. I'll my workouts and video'd sessions will be posted here as well as the mobility work.

Common products that I have taken in the past are NP's MBCAA and UspLabs MBCAA. As for sleep products, I've played around with high dosed GABA, melatonin, and HGHPro.

My other supplement line up is: Anabeta, 50mg Forskolin-95 ED, Multi, Fish Oil, Cissus, Joint Force, PeakBeta+, CitMal, random prewos, and a pluthera of GDA's. (Let me know if any of these will interfere with log integrity and I'll drop them ASAP)

I work 2 days on/2 days off with the Coast guard at a search & rescue station. I never fully adapt to sleeping in a bed, as I'm constantly back and forth. I have a year and a half old son that likes to make his way into my bed when I'm home....so hopefully G8 makes me sleep through some kicks and punches!

My next workout will be Sunday. Squats at 95% of my T1RM and reverse band beyond 100% possibly. I'll begin the BCAA/SAA then and G8 will commence tonight!

cool cool - this will be a bit different log for me to follow, looking forward to it!
and, first FINAFLEX product you ever done man, really? well what took you so long?
welcome to the Freaky experience, hope you enjoy

There won't be any ripped abs in this thread but you guys will get to see some heavy weight being moved. I'm getting into the mobility work a lot more so hopefully people can learn from that as well. I'll most likely ask you some diet advice though. Carb cycling at the moment, weighing 210. I'll drop some water to compete 198 in Oct.

I was going to test your new stim product from the promo but the second I got selected, my doctor thought I was borderline tachycardic so i had to drop the logging oppurtunity. Cardiologist verified a few weeks after that I'm fine.

I actually just ordered your multi just a minute ago so I can add that into this log as well when it comes in. I ought some FF PH's a while ago but returned them for personal reasons. Someday..

yours will be the last to go JB - unfortunately, I overcommitted on product availability, and my boys at the warehouse had to dig deep to procure your G8..my apologies for this - but, it is on the way now!

Haven't had a chance to taste it yet! Cracking the G8 open in about an hour.

Are you going to mix the two? Makes the G8 taste much better. Thanks for the video. I always try to get my feet back as far as I can but never even thought of taking that approach seems much better. I can hardly get them back the way I do it.

I'll mix it next time I think.

If my feet go too far back, I loose leg drive. Just experiment and see what works for ya. My bench is horrible compared to my other lifts and it's a work in process

I slept like a rock. I took it around 1015 and by 1045 I was feeling pretty tired and relaxed. I woke up once for a split second and fell right back asleep. I woke up feeling refreshed. I'm awake and alert, not groggy feeling at all. So far it's a plus.

How do you recommend dosing? I know there's thread after thread after thread on BCAA dosing. I've always been used to it intra or post if I'm unable to get a meal in.

yep like that is fine: can be used pre/intra/postWO (best)..upon rising..before bed..or anytime thruout day you can't get food in, or want to add some protein content to your meals
very versatile, these things

Today I took BCAA+SAA pre work out and post work out. I'll finish tonight with a last dose before bedtime.

Good stuff....easy to get some extra quality ''food'' in .

Blue rasp bottle almost finished,luckily have a full apple fusion waiting for me

Love the taste of both....

Im excited for my blue ras to get in as im out of the apple fusion :-(.

I take my BCAA+SAAs intra-workout and what its done for my recovery is insane. I murdered my back yesterday to the point where i was positive id have DOMS today, woke up and not even a hint of soreness!

So jelly. :'( Haven't done a proper back workout in 2 weeks. As far as dosing, I drink it right before bed cuz that's how I roll.

Another good night of sleep. I dosed a half scoop again around 1020 and was asleep before 11. I woke up once around 2 to piss and thought "oh man I'm sleeping good" and fell right back asleep until 7.

After about 15 minutes of taking a dosage, I feel a subtle relaxation. I credit that to the GABA content.

I also took a scoop of the BCAA/SAA last night and holy crap Finaflex-Good job on the flavoring. It's probably one of the most refreshing tasting powders I've tried. I was concerned with the consistency of the powder, as most BCAA's are so light that they take a while to settle but this definetly was not the case.

Squats today.

And possibly the childrens museum.. FML

It mixes very well. Tastes better with some ice thrown in and shaken up, IMHO. Awesome squats BTW.

STRONGLY advise this for you - for anyone, actually
I mean I love apple fusion, in fact last 4 jugs I've gotten were that flav, simple because prior I had been doing a shyte ton of blue ras (of course AF wasn't available at that time)..this last monthly order tho, I picked up 3 BR flav, and will now just keep the AF to mix with my G8 for nighttime concoction
somehow, I cannot see the mixture of BR flav + G8, mixed together
